BSc Mechatronical Engineering

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Budapest University of Technology and Economics

Program Overview

The BSc Mechatronical Engineering at Óbuda University (via Budapest International College) is perfect if you’re curious about how machines, electronics, and software come together to power modern technology. You’ll learn how to design and control smart systems—from automated production lines to robotics—while building skills that are highly valued across industries.

Curriculum Structure

Year 1

You’ll start by building a strong base in engineering fundamentals with subjects like Mathematics I–II, Engineering Physics, and Informatics for Engineers I–II. Alongside this, modules like Materials Science and Technical Mechanics help you understand how real-world systems behave and how engineers approach solving problems.

Year 2

In the second year, the program becomes more focused and practical. You’ll study Basics of Mechatronics, Measurement and Automatics, and Electrotechnics and Electronics, while also learning Programming and Digital Techniques, giving you a clear understanding of how mechanical, electrical, and software systems work together.

Year 3

This year is all about applying your knowledge. With subjects like CAD Systems, Building Automation, and Quality Management, you’ll start designing systems, working with automation technologies, and understanding how production environments operate.

Final Year

In your final year, everything comes together through a Mechatronics Project, where you design and develop a complete system using the skills you’ve built over the program. This hands-on experience prepares you directly for real engineering roles.

Focus Areas

Mechanical systems, electronics, control systems, robotics, automation technologies, intelligent systems

Learning Outcomes

You’ll graduate with the ability to design and manage smart systems, combine mechanical and electronic components with software, work with sensors and automation tools, and confidently solve real engineering challenges

Professional Alignment (Accreditation)

This is a recognized Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree aligned with European standards, giving you the flexibility to work internationally or continue into a master’s degree

Reputation (Employability / Recognition)

Mechatronics is one of the fastest-growing engineering fields, and graduates are highly sought after in areas like robotics, automation, and manufacturing—meaning strong job prospects both in Hungary and globally

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

At Budapest International College, our BSc in Mechatronical Engineering dives deep into hands-on learning right from the start, where you'll build real-world skills in designing, constructing, and maintaining mechatronic systems by integrating mechanical engineering, electronics, electrotechnics, and computer control. You'll get plenty of practice supervising manufacturing processes, assembly, and quality control using cutting-edge mechatronic devices, all while working on practical tasks like operating smart machines and introducing energy-efficient technologies. This program equips you to tackle routine design projects and innovate in industrial settings, preparing you perfectly for a career managing complex systems with a specialization in industrial robot systems.

Here's what makes our experiential learning stand out, drawing directly from the program's structure: you'll gain these opportunities through dedicated practical training and access to top-tier resources at our Budapest campus.
